Accessing the MFD on highline clocks without a MFSW?

[Georrge]

Hi George,

Sorry to bring this ancient thread back up, but wondering if you found a solution to this issue? I'm having the exact same issue, I recently upgraded from midline to 972 Highline clocks, I don't have mfsw and can't access mfd via my stalk driving me insane.

No need to apologise, that's what the admins on here want you to do!

But as far as I'm aware, the solution is to get a MFSW. I'm planning on getting s mk6 wheel, just waiting for the right one to pop up

Same here. I am having the same problem...
It appears you might need a highline CCM, but that didn't work for me: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,93756.msg943026.html#msg943026

Interesting, I never knew you could change them. Let me know if you get it working or not later!

Thanks for the info guys, this issues really annoying. I'll be installing a mfsw in the near future, but I was hoping I could still use my stalk to access the mfd for now! Damnit

If you guys come to find a solution give us a shout. Cheers

I don't think you need a highline CCM..

on my old 1.9 TDI it was a 2004 se with cruise control etc.
highline cluster fitted and controlled from indicator stalk no issues..?

It depends on what clocks you get from what I've been told. I have cruise control too, but can't access menu

[xjay1337]

did you try a different indicator stalk....?

if you have a later style cluster, wiper stalk wont work. you will need a mfsw. Happenned to me on my 973 clocks. on my old golf I had a 971 cluster and wiper stalk worked.

Hi raz,

The cluster I got installed is a 972, so it should work shouldn't it? The SatNav instructions appear on the mfd (directions, compass etc) however, track info and radio info doesn't and I can't access the mfd via stalk.

what happens when you hold the up or down position for about 5 seconds?

I thought u had a 973 fitted?

[Rukz]

oh sorry I mentioned 973 to you, but that was my mistake, it's a 972 cluster off Jedi's 55 plate GTi.

Holding up/down for about 5secs does nothing, just the same as if I was to press it once up/down (go to the next item ie. mpg, range etc)

[Rukz]

From the research and reading I've done on this issue everything seems to indicate that I should be able to access the settings menu etc especially considering that its a 972 cluster and not a later 973/4 cluster.

Could it possible be just a coding error? The vehicle the 972 cluster came out of had mfsw and mine doesn't. Hmm
